Il s’acquitte de cette responsabilité en examinant les problèmes et en encourageant les actions internationales, grâce à des améliorations de la technologie et à la conception d’expériences et de programmes de mesure critiques. Il est engagé dans l'élaboration du plan scientifique du JGOFS, projet important du PIGB, et joue un rôle de conseiller scientifique pour la COI. Ses autres activités incluent l'élaboration d’une politique scientifique, ainsi que la coopération nationale et internationale avec l'OMM et le PMRC(TOGA). 4, record 4, French, - Comit%C3%A9%20scientifique%20pour%20les%20recherches%20oc%C3%A9aniques

The Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites (CGMS) concerns itself with the coordination of operational topics. Membership is open to all operators of meteorological satellites, to prospective operators having a clear commitment to develop and operate such satellites, and to the WMO, because of its unique role as representative of the world meteorological data user community. The first meeting was held in September 1972, with representatives from the European Space Research Organization, Japan, the USA and observers from the World Meteorological Organization and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). 1, record 7, English, - Coordination%20Group%20for%20Meteorological%20Satellites

Le GAIM est un projet principal du PIGB dont l'objectif est de favoriser le développement de modèles détaillés de prévision du système biogéochimique global et de coupler ces modèles avec ceux du système climatique physique. Les activités du GAIM recoupent celles des autres projets du PIGB puisqu'elles sont étroitement liées à ces derniers. Le GAIM possède toutefois sa propre identité grâce à sa spécialisation sur l'interprétation globale et l'élaboration de modèles(comprenant l'association d’éléments préalablement séparés) ainsi que par son étroite collaboration avec des activités complémentaires du PMRC. 5, record 8, French, - Global%20Analysis%2C%20Integration%2C%20and%20Modelling
